Lady Liberty

The Statue of Liberty

by Peyton Oliver

I chose to do my report on the Statue of Liberty because I think she is beautiful and I like her blue-green color.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the USA from the country of France.

Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was a French artist who designed the statue and he made it out of copper.

The Statue of Liberty is located on Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor.

On her head there is a crown with seven spikes which represent her divine nature. Some people think they represent the seven continents and seven seas of the world.

The Statue of Liberty was dedicated to the people of the United States on October 28, 1886.

Miss Peyton did an incredible job with her report. She actually stayed on script and didn't add her own ideas ~ which is quite a feat for her. Although, she still says her favorite fact is that the statue is blue-green, she did finally admit that she liked saying "Frederic Auguste Bartholdi."

She read her books all by herself and picked out the highlights for her report. Her big sister helped her write it and I printed it out for her. It was a true family effort. Mrs. Marksz said it was a great report ~ at least 2nd grade level. My Lady Liberty is so proud of herself and she should be, she was terrific! This is what being a Mom is all about!
